Awaken all your senses by mindfully walking in nature. You will experience a profound restoration effect by aligning with the rhythms of nature. This awareness will allow you to find balance, joy and serenity within yourself. By slowing down and pacing yourself to the rhythm of nature, this will expand and deepen your knowledge of the healing powers of nature. Meet in Canticle Park. Wear walking shoes. Bring a walking stick if you choose.

Loretta Mogan, a Minnesota Master Naturalist, is herself a steward of our natural environment, and guide for others. She draws on practices of forest bathing, a deep relaxation amongst trees in order to de-stress and boost health and wellbeing in a natural way. Loretta serves on the park board at Chester Woods and is a longtime dedicated volunteer at Chester Woods, working on such projects as buckthorn removal and prairie seed collecting and many others.
